Healthier & Happier Living with a Plant-Based Diet
I love carbs, especially starchy, potatoey ones. I can eat them anytime, all the time. 🙂 So with potatoes, like pasta, even though they taste the best to me in their pure, unadulterated forms, I occasionally try to come up with ways to make me eat fewer of them at once. I wanted to make… Continue reading Almond Crusted Potatoes with Lemon-Dill Aioli… and a vegan president?

One of the things that non-vegans often say they dislike the most is when vegans get all "preachy". Personally, I disagree that telling the truth is preaching, but that's a whole other topic. But vegans can still educate others and help animals without lecturing to get their message across. I've been thinking a lot lately about relationships… Continue reading Many Paths to a Common Goal

How fun is that? Recently,… Continue reading Pineapple Thyme Juice
